We can get silicon to "think" but the neuron can't be beat for efficiency. So, researchers worked to imitate it.

A thin strip of flexible film, printed with layers of graphene and molybdenum disulfide ink, fired electrical spikes into a ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

Is parallel visual processing a myth? A new study reveals that bipolar cells in the retina use electrical synapses to ...

Cellular maturation involves transcriptional, metabolic, and physiological changes that drive cell function. In human neurons, this process takes longer than in most other cell types, lasting almost ...

A key protein expressed in epithelial “skin” cells plays a critical role in protecting the structure and function of cells in the nervous system of a model nematode, a type of worm, according to new ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience journal, is publishing a special issue on aging research on January 8, 2025. The collection of reviews and perspectives reflects the progress made in ...
